Snow Bored?
[Recreation-and-Sports] There's definitely a freedom in flying at high speeds down a hill through fresh powder snow, the cold wind threatening your face with minor frostbite, and your feet strapped to a few sticks of wood. The exhilaration of fast, almost out of control turns, legs rammed up to your chin by hard packed moguls, and tree lines beckoning at the bottom of the trail as it curves around to spew it's passengers back to it's feeder lifts for a ride back to the top.

Skate Bored?
[Recreation-and-Sports:Skateboarding] Though skateboards were around in the early 50's and 60's and actually very widely used back then they weren't well made and so eventually died out. The early ones were basically just milk crates with roller skate wheels and maybe a handle. More like a scooter. The wheels were the big problem, being mostly of clay, and resulted in lots of accidents from slipping or breaking and causing a fall. Even with better boards the wheels still created difficulty, and the sport pretty well died out in the mid-60's.
